Kevan was silent for a moment, but he was still unable to make a decision. "We'll talk about it tomorrow."…Larissa missed Aster. She only ordered two burgers at a roadside stall before telling Kevan to quickly drive to the Rogers' villa. When they got there, it was past 9:00 pm. The villa's lights were still on, and it seemed no one was asleep.Kevan did not call Violet, so when the nanny opened the door to see him, she was very surprised. "Young Mr. Rogers, why are you here at this time?"Kevan asked, "Is Aster asleep?"The nanny shook her head. "Not yet! Mrs. Rogers was not in a good mood today, so Mr. Aster stayed with her for the whole day. After they finished dinner, they went into the study to draw. They have not left the room yet."Kevan nodded. "I understand." He led Larissa upstairs to the study.Violet and Aster were both lying on the table. Both of them had paintbrushes in their hands. When they heard the door opening, they looked up together."Daddy! Mommy!" Whe

Although Aster's intentions were good, Kevan still did not send him back to Violet's to prevent her from hesitating when leaving the house tomorrow."Once Grandma has come home tomorrow, I'll send you over, okay?" Kevan told Aster.Aster forced himself to nod and say, "Okay, then."…Because he had been separated too long from Larissa, Aster kept sticking to her that night until he fell asleep. Only then did Larissa tiptoe away from him.Kevan was waiting for her in the bedroom. His upper body was bade and the blanket was pulled up to his waist. When he saw Larissa enter the room, his blank gaze lit up at once."Lari." He smiled gently, and his hoarse voice was seductive.Larissa could not help but shudder. She pretended not to hear or see anything as she walked across the bedroom to enter the walk-in closet. Kevan followed her. He wore very loose pajama pants and was not completely naked like Larissa had thought.Larissa opened a drawer and took out her underwear. Kevan

At some point, it began to rain lightly. No one brought umbrellas, so they all hurriedly ran to their cars to hide from the rain. Anthony also pulled Violet away with him. Only Kevan stood there without moving."Kevan?" Anthony turned back to call him. "Aren't you leaving?"Kevan stared at Bethany's name on the gravestone as he said softly, "I want to stay for a little while longer."Anthony knew that Kevan was feeling bad, so he did not try to change his mind. He only said, "Don't stay out for too long. The weather is not good today. The rain will only be heavier soon."After everyone had left, Kevan only stepped forward and crouched before Bethany's grave. He reached out to touch Bethany's beautifully carved name in the stone as he said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Bethany."I don't hope that you'll forgive me, but you must be happy while you're up there. If there's a next life, remember to go to a normal family and find parents who'll really love you. Goodbye."He hoped they would ne

Larissa did not forget her work even after she came back to Caldor. Of course, that was mostly because Lewis was keeping an eye on her. She contacted those clients every day and had to take time out to oversee the rebuilding of Blue Star Shipping's branch company in Bartham.The office address was picked by Kevan for her beforehand. It was right next to the Microworks Building, and it was the property of Microworks. Kevan had bought this office building previously for the sake of expanding Microwork's departments. Still, he could not use up all the floors, so he gave two floors for Blue Star Shipping.Larissa did not want to take advantage of him, so she offered to pay him rent according to the market price."Sure." Kevan did not refuse. "My money's yours anyway."As long as Larissa did not find it troublesome to transfer the money between them, it was fine.…After arranging all his matters, Kevan only informed Larissa the night before his flight. "I'm going to Westoni

"Of course I'll fucking blame you! Who else can I blame?" If Gary had been holding something, he would have thrown it at Kevan a long time ago.This fucking son of a bitch! Piece of shit! He fucking stole his precious daughter away from him without saying a damned thing!Although Gary knew that this was bound to happen sooner or later, they really did not respect him by having an affair right under his nose!Lewis hurriedly tried to soothe Gary again. "Calm down, Uncle. Be calm."Gary took several deep breaths before he managed to calm himself down. "You've dealt with all that bullshit with your family?" he asked.The main reason he prevented Larissa from being together with Kevan was because he felt that the Rogers family was too complicated. He did not want Larissa to get involved with all the stupid power struggles of the wealthy families.Gary had already heard of Soaring Corporation's bankruptcy and Cody's arrest resulting in his death from various media, but he coul

"When's the wedding?" Gary suddenly asked.Kevan froze for two seconds before he finally realized what Gary was asking. Then, a wave of crazy joy rose up in Kevan."It's not decided yet." Kevan did his best to stop himself from smiling as he replied calmly, "I need to see what Lari would say.""Since you're already back together, it's better if the wedding comes fast. My daughter can't possibly just follow you without anything to her name!" Gary was still unhappy with Kevan, but the asshole had already stolen Larissa away. No one could stop him now.Kevan wanted to have the wedding quickly too to prevent himself from having nightmares about it. But now Larissa was busy establishing a Blue Star branch in Bartham, and she did not care about anything else."Uncle Gary, this is a gift." Kevan took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Gary. Gary's eyes narrowed as he looked at it carefully—"A property deed?" he exclaimed in surprise.Kevan was giving him the wh

"I guess so." Kevan's voice was calm, but the smile in his eyes was obvious."Can you decide on the wedding now?" Dylan raised an eyebrow."I'll see." Kevan did not know what Larissa really wanted, so he did not dare to decide by himself."You'll 'see'?" Dylan was unhappy with Kevan's indecision. "If you drag this out anymore, you and Larissa will probably already have your second child!"Kevan was helpless. "This isn't something that I can decide by myself.""What's wrong, Mr. Rogers?" Dylan eyed him teasingly as he said, "You're already afraid of your wife now? Are you still that egotistical Mr. Rogers that I know?""I'm not 'afraid' of my wife." Kevan corrected him. "I am respecting my wife's opinions. A mansplainer like you will never understand."Dylan was very indignantly confused. "Fine, fine. It is whatever you say it is." He did not want to bother arguing with Kevan.…When Kevan got home, it was almost 2:00 am. The house was dark, and Larissa and Aster had gone to sl

"My wife," Kevan said again. He stared at her, and his eyes were twinkling.Although it was not the first time he had called her wife, Larissa still blushed anyway. She purposely looked away and put a hand over her racing heart as she retorted weakly, "We're not married yet, don't randomly call me that!""There's something I keep forgetting to tell you." Kevan had a smirk on his face while his eyes were slightly narrowed. He looked like a fox.Larissa's heart skipped a beat and she got nervous. "What?""Come here." Kevan called her, and his low voice was like the voice of a siren. Larissa could not help but take two steps forward. When she reached a range where Kevan could touch her, he reached up at once and pulled her into his arms.Larissa screamed as she fell onto the soft bed, her back slamming against Kevan's firm chest. Kevan hugged her tightly, and his breaths puffed against her cheek.Larissa was already used to the way he hugged her, and she did not feel unc
